The surprising poster of the Festa Major de Sant Pere in Reus 2026
A poster that is not just an image: it is a play of lights, sounds, and movements that surrounds the viewer. This 2026, the Festa Major de Sant Pere de Reus presents a poster that aims to make the city and its people vibrate beyond a simple postcard.
The Reus artist Ester Ferrando has created a piece that demands more than a glance: it requires interaction, imagination, and 3D glasses to truly experience it. A poster that is not easily understood, and that is what makes it irresistible.
The design that challenges the gaze
A visual and sound explosion
The poster uses an anaglyph with red and cyan colors that create a sensation of vibration and controlled disorder. The scattered typography and colors represent sound and movement, as if the thunder of the Festa Major were an almost tangible experience.
An invitation to participate
With 3D glasses, the viewer not only looks but plays at discovering hidden shapes and images. The artist wanted perception to be personal and active, making no one see the poster the same way.
The symbolism of Sant Pere and local history
400 years of relic
This year marks the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the reliquary bust of Sant Pere to Reus. This element is subtly incorporated into the poster: the smoke of the thunder takes the shape of Sant Pere, a detail that forces careful looking and interpretation.
A tribute beyond the obvious
The presence of the saint is not explicit but suggested, a resource that appeals to the curiosity and imagination of the public. It is a trick to make the Festa Major more than just a festival: a living story shown in colors and shapes.
The artist who gives voice to the festival
Ester Ferrando, recognized local talent
With training from the University of Barcelona and the Massana School, Ferrando combines sculpture, photography, and multimedia installations. Art teacher and exhibition coordinator, her résumé is full of recognitions, such as the Julio Antonio Sculpture Prize and the Cambrils Contemporary Gastronomic Art Prize.
A bet on local talent
Daniel Recasens, councilor of Culture, highlights that betting on local artists like Ester Ferrando strengthens the identity and culture of Reus. Nothing more to add: the Festa Major is also that, a city showing itself through its art.
The poster is not a simple image; it is a visual shout that makes you feel the thunder and the festival. If you haven’t seen it yet, prepare for an experience that will make you look at Reus with new eyes, and perhaps, with 3D glasses.
